Al Gore

So, I think it's funny that both Dooce and Crazy Aunt Purl reference Al Gore inventing the internet (Crazy Aunt Purl has many more references than that one post, but I only felt it necessary to link to one. And then to explain myself, apparently.).

I thought it was just a Crazy Aunt Purl thing, but when Dooce mentioned it recently, I felt I needed to do a bit of research. Was there some whole "Al Gore Invented The Internet" movement of which I was unaware?

do you remember all the commercials and controversy when he ran for prez? they made gore sound like a tool for over-stating his involvement in creating the internet. i think bush called him a lyer and blah blah blah.
